To all whom it 'may concern.-

Be it knovm that I, PETER Gersen, of' Waynesborongh, in the county of Franklin, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gauges for Making Axles of triple-gear horsepowers; and I do hereby declare that the ibllving is a full, clear, and exaet description oi' the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making; part of' this specification, in whichf Figure 1 is a top View;

Figure 2 is a side elevation;

Figure 3 i's an elevation of the opposite side; and

Figure4 is a top View of the axle as finished.

The saine letters, in all the figures, referto identical parts, l

This invention relates to a gauge or temple't for lay- 'ing off the work to be done upon the axles of triplegear horse-powers, by means of which the points to be cnt or bored, as well ,as the lcentre of .the spindle, are determined and 'marked out.- l

A, in iig; 4, shows the axle as completed.

The gauge is constructed of a thin piece of board, B, on the end of which are metallic plates C C, having holes through them to indicate the precise position of the centres of the spindles. Y

Metallic plates D, Dl, D2, D, and D, are bolted-to the edge of' the board B, having,lr holes at snclrpoils as are to vbe thecen'tresof bolt-holes, forthe insertion of bolts through the ande.

'The sot at E represents the position and forni of' the notch e, which is intended to receive the cross-sill.

Thenotches at F indicate the position and dimensions of the gains `"and a series of holes, G, ihdicatesthe position of the vertical bolt-holesqj.

I am aware that templets have been usedA in various Athis specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
